Today I went to Seoul museum of history.
King Taejo founded Joseon Dynasty in 1392.
He moved the capital gaegyeong to hanyang.
He choosed Hanyang because of its beautiful nature and central location.
The palaces were Gyeongbok, Gyeonghee, Gyeongun, changgyeong, and changdeok palace.
King Taejo built shrines, Jongmyo, and Sajik first and then built palaces.
Hanyang surrounded with city walls and 4 main gates.
They were 흥인지문(east), 돈의문(west), 숭례문(south), and 숙정문(north).
Before king Sejong invented Hangeul, nobel people used Chinese characters.
The folding screen 평생도, shows pictures only 15 to 39 years old.
It shows a wedding, a examination, and life as a politician.
Hopae was an ID card.
People showed this to gate keeper to enter the gate.
Common people wore white clothes which made of cotton and hemp.
The government officers wore officers uniforms called Samo and Kwnadae.
Hweang-Bae had different animal patterns.
Only king and crown prince could have a dragon pattern cloth.
Civil officers had crane pattern cloth, and military officers had tiger pattern cloth. |
